As outdoor concert/worship options become more accepted, we would love to work with you on a special event for your church or organization. We can also offer house concerts for your church as well. Just let us know how we can serve this summer! Contact Mike
HELP MUSICIANS - MAKE NEW MUSIC!
We are working on new music as a way to help some of my friends who have been hurt by the collapse of live music events this year. If you would like to donate, you can use my PayPal link and we will continue to put good musicians to work. Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
There are few hymns that endure for decades and centuries. Many songs are with us for a season, or for a person's lifetime. Thank God for new songs singing about old truths in new ways. But some of the old songs and old poetry last for centuries, passing text and melody and far more than that - memory... promise.
The Advent hymn "Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel" is a song that captures the longing, not for things to simply go back to what they used to be or some good day in the past, but forward to a lasting joy that was promised in Christ. The lyrics and music so beautifully capture the longing and the focus so well, that we joy in singing this song ever year.
In a dark night, pondering what EMMANUEL means - God With Us - I wrote the poetry that would become the intro and outro to this song. The question that we all wonder when bad things come - "Lord - Do you SEE? Do you HEAR? Do you CARE??"
And sometimes all we get is a name. Emmanuel. All we get is a promise. "I will be with you always. All we get is a cross... and a command. Pick it up, follow me, I will be with You, for I am Emmanuel and I know the place I am calling you to. The ultimate home, life to the full, complete relationship, complete healing, eternal rest and life. Not just for you, but for all.
In the waiting - remember the promise of Emmanuel. He is with you, in the joys...
and even in the silence. Peace and Joy in Christ - Mike
